From what I know, on his single motor tow boogie, Hadou uses a 3 blades Foildrive folding prop.
@Hadou … hello…i saw your most recent video using the backpack and was wondering what your solution is for running the cable to the back pack…is there any bungee or safety included ?..also what size backpack did you use??..really good foirage by the way…lively little wave where you are…
Cheers

I have a question, if it doesn’t have a rudder and it only has an engine, how do you steer the boat to where you are?
Hi. I’ve been using a 3 blades propeller aluminium and I’m now using a 3 blades g10 that I was also using on my foil assists. The torque is really good.
Hi ! You may be talking about this nice session !
FOIL ASSIST SESSION
My cable is secured with a dyneema 250kg rope running along the electric cable
A 2litere Backpack design for trekking is geberallt perfect to fit the box. I reinforced mine with neoprene at the bottom .
Hi. While ridging you just go left to make it turn right and you go to the right to make it turn left .
If you fall away from the tow you have to paddle back. If the tow is away, but facing tour direction, you can pull the trigger and it will come back to you or almost

Can you please share details on this? Thanks for sharing
Is the ESC and receiver mounted on the board?
Hi Hadou i love your yt channel gave me a lot of interesting tips to grow up on foil and your work it’s always great
Could o ask you why if you use the 12200 esc am32 you use 4 6s battery?!
Because that esc reach max 50,4volts
You just use 2 6s???
That’s all because I what to build my own propelled board and all info are gold
Many thanks
Hi. Here are photos of my build I wanted it to be small and compact. But forward/back pitch is really unstable, I can hardly get going. So to solve this, I am going to move the mast forward per Hadou’s QnA video and what I have seen on other DIY boogies. (once done and tested will report back)
My boogie also flipped over often, so I added 2 outriggers and that helped a lot. The issue is that it ended up being heavy so will change the wood and inner PVC pipe to just aluminum.
The batteries are not in the picture, I use one or two 10S4P Scooter battery packs, fully enclosed and waterproof I offset them to the side to help with motors torque. I like 10S configuration as the AMPS are lower with higher voltages. Also the motor spins faster so I use lower KV / RPM motors. Grunt straps secure them.
The motor is Flipsky 7070 110KV and used a VESC 6.9 with power button. The remote is also Flipsky, I like them because the Vesc has UART connection to the Remote Trasmitter and the remote tells me AMS and battery percentage.
Hi
I have a flexible tube under the board to
Grab water when the tow is going forward, water goes up to an alulinium block that is in contact/glued with thermal paste to the esc in order to cool it. Cesric and Etienne gave me that trick and I think it’s great!
Thanks for your comment
I’ m running 12S4P. With two grapes of 6s2p on this version.
Thanks for your answer, another question, the esc need to be programmed or motor esc, controller and receiver just need to be joined with battery for working?
Hadou could ask you how can program the parameters of the sqesc 12200 I’ve bought it but now i need to sett it, there are no usb port…
Thanks in advance
You need a specific USB-C dongle to connect the ESC plug (3pin) in the usb to configure the ESC
Many thanks i got it and will do very soon
@Hadou
Please post a screenshot of parameters for blheli32 12200. Thanks.
Motor start smooth?
